"T-there! She is in that one!" The man said, pointing straight ahead. "Pull the one with number fifty-seven."
Lucifer flew ahead and opened the small square door.
"This?" he asked, looking back at the man.
"That's right. That's the girl who was brought today," the receptionist answered.
Lucifer raised his hand towards the man. The man's body flew towards Lucifer as his neck ended up in Lucifer's hands.
Lucifer thrust the man's body inside the opening in the wall.
"Please tell you see a body there," Lucifer said, not amused.
"This... I don't understand. Where did the body go? I'm sure it was kept here!" The man exclaid, shocked. The place was completely empty. Nobody was there.
"If it's a joke, it isn't funny. And I'll make sure you know that if you don't tell where her body is!"
"It's no joke! I'm sure! The body was here! Let ask the person in charge of this place! Maybe he shifted the body? Just give a second!"
Lucifer pulled the man out again. "You have five minutes. If I don't get the whereabouts of the girl in five minutes, I'll still be standing here, but you won't."
The man ran to a phone as soon as Lucifer freed him. He dialed a number.
"Ah, hello. Sir, I wanted to ask if you moved the body of the explosion victim who was brought in recently. She's not in fifty-seven."
"Nope. I don't think any body was moved. It should still be there."
"I'm right there. The body isn't there!"
"How are you there? The keys are with ?'
"I don't have ti to answer the question. Please try to rember what might have happened to the body! I only have four minutes left!"
"I'm telling you, I don't know. Just stop repeating the question. In any case, it's just a body. It's not like you lost a diamond or sothing."
"Don't worry and let sleep. I'll check tomorrow!" The incharge of the morgue disconnected the call before putting the phone on silent. He went to sleep.
The receptionist could feel his heart thumping. An angry guy was standing behind him, and what he was looking for was missing.
"In this situation, I would've preferred to lose a diamond instead of that body," he muttered, scratching his back.
"Three minutes..." Lucifer declared.
"Ah, I-i rember! We can check the footage! It'll tell us what happened to the body!" the man exclaid. "Co with !"
He took Lucifer with him to check the recording of the day. At the sa ti, multiple police cars surrounded the hospital.
They had received the information that a person was killed in the hospital. The sound of sirens filled the surroundings.
Lucifer entered the security room without much obstruction. No one tried to stop him. They had already seen his actions at the entrance regarding how he killed a person without even touching him.
They didn't want to do anything to him. Instead, they preferred to run as they saw Lucifer was being taken in their direction.
The security room was completely empty when Lucifer stepped in.
"Where is everyone?" the receptionist exclaid, frowning. "I don't know how to operate the system here. We'll need them to find the footage or soone who knows a bit about tech."
"Wait here; I'll find soone!" The man left the room, leaving Lucifer behind.
Initially, he expected Lucifer to stop him as a hostage, but Lucifer didn't even bother. After stepping out of the room, he looked behind. Seeing Lucifer wasn't following, he sighed a breath of relief.
Instead of bringing soone back to Lucifer as he claid, he started running away now that he was out of sight.
Without looking back, he kept running, and soon he left the hospital.
There was no evacuation at the mont to not cause a commotion, so he didn't have any problem escaping.
As he left the hospital, he saw all the cop cars surrounding the hospital. The cops were preparing to go inside.
He approached the Chief of Police.
"Halt! Identify yourself!" The cops aid their guns at the man.
"I am Johnny. I work at the reception! I was held hostage by the murderer! I barely managed to escape!"
"Let him co," the Chief of Police commanded his n.
Everyone allowed Johnny to pass through.
"Tell everything you know about the killer? What are his motives? Who is he?"
"He is a Variant. In fact, he is a really strong Variant, it seems! He can kill people without even touching them. I don't know how he did that."
"Yeah, we saw the video of that happening. Any update on the motives of the man?"
"He's looking for a body. I don't know what his relationship is with the body, but he only wants that."
"Whose body?"
"The body of an Explosion Victim. She was brought here today, dead."
"Why doesn't he leave the hospital after taking the body?"
"The body is missing. We don't know what happened to it but what I know is that the man is crazy. If he doesn't find the body, he'll destroy the entire hospital. You need to stop him!"
"So you lost the body that you just received today. What great administration," the Chief of Police exclaid, sighing. "You just made this problem so much bigger.'
"Will you be going in to capture him?" Johnny asked.
"We don't know anything about him. Moreover, he's a Variant that can kill mysteriously. We can't go in and risk the lives of our n. Only a Variant can take out a Variant like that."
"That's why we already inford the Franci Family. They will be here soon. In the anti, we just need to make sure the man doesn't run away."
"Where did you see him before you ran?"
"He was in the security room, trying to check the footage of the morgue. But I'm sure he'll soon start causing a stir since there is no one here to work the system." Johnny sighed.
"Whatever, I told you everything I know and did my duty as a responsible citizen. I don't want to stay here a second longer. I wish you all luck. I'm out!"
Johnny left, going in the opposite direction of the hospital. He didn't know when the Franci family was going to be here and if they could be here in ti.
And if they were late and Lucifer was out, Johnny was sure that he was going to kill him first for leaving him alone. He didn't want to be here when that ti ca.
...
The Franci family was one of the eight great families and had a great reputation, especially because their head was one of the teachers at the Academy of Gifted Variants.
